I just have to shake my head ... this morning's report on BBC Breakfast asks the question "Which fast food chain is responsible for the most street litter?"
Come on people!
Fortunately for my own sanity one of the people interviewed thought that just maybe this particular problem had something to do with the customers of fast food restaurants. And this sentiment was very eloquently echoed by someone else with a brain who e-mailed the program and pointed out that such a notion was as obscene as suggesting that God was responsible for global warming.
So apparently I am not alone in thinking that litter may actually be caused by ... shock! Horror! ... litter louts. Not MacDonalds. And not the government. Plain old garden variety slobs. S.L.O.B.S!
Where am I going with this particular rant?
Well, until we reject the notion that someone else is to blame ... and start to place responsibility where it actually belongs ... for global warming, for bad behaviour and for our own poor health ... then we're never going to do something constructive about the problems we face.
Taking responsibility versus placing the blame elsewhere. Now there's a concept. The supermarkets have aisles and aisles of chocolate, confectionary and booze ... but they don't eat it for you!
Tesco's sales for the 7 weeks to January 10th show baked beans laden with sugar up 24% and organic food sales down 11%.
It's that government again.
When will someone put an end to this madness? It's not all my fault.
